The California State Athletic Commission issued medical suspensions to nine fighters from this past weekend’s UFC on Versus 2 event, though few sustained serious injuries.

MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) recently requested and today received the list of medical suspensions from the CSAC.

UFC on Versus 2 took place this past Sunday, Aug. 1, at the San Diego Sports Arena in California and aired live on Versus.

The event featured a total of 10 bouts, and only three went the distance.

Headliner Vladimir Matyushenko, who fell short in his attempt to stop the meteoric rise of light-heavyweight sensation Jon Jones, received a relatively light suspension. Following a first-round TKO loss, he is benched for 45 days and restricted from contact for 30 days for precautionary reasons. “The Janitor” also needs a new physical.

In the event’s co-main draw, middleweight Mark Munoz sprained his left elbow in the course of a grueling three-round decision loss to Yushin Okami. He is suspended for 45 days with no contact for 30 days for precautionary reasons.

Meanwhile, welterweight John Howard, who received the worst-looking injury of the night courtesy of Jake Ellenberger’s elbows, is suspended for 180 days or until cleared by a physician for a possible facial fracture. (The cageside doctor stopped the bout in the third round when Howard’s eye swelled shut.) He is also suspended for 45 days with no contact for 30 days for precautionary reasons and needs a new physical.

Other medical suspensions include:

Tyson Griffin (TKO loss to Takanori Gomi): Suspended for 45 days with no contact for 30 days for precautionary reasons; also needs a new physical.
